It should not technically matter so long as the soundcard works OK. Usual practice might be to have JAWS + Windows sounds through the onboard and then anything else go through the other soundcard on the basis you want to keep JAWS speech away from the other sound channel. JAWS version 10 and above will let you freely specify which soundcard you go through with JAWS. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of HotScot Sent: 11 May 2011 13:05 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] sound cards?
